“An error occurred while updating some of the page” Status 500 Xpages Save

Question

I have an Xpage consisting of a few custom controls - application layout, content (dojo_data grid), and a custom control that shows some user data, which the user can change.

Everything works fine in the 9 client, but on the web I get the following error message: enter image description here

The log shows this:

CLFAD0134E: Exception processing XPage request

I have a save button in the custom control with the user data, which has SSJS:

var usrNme = session.getCommonUserName();
var v:NotesView = database.getView("(employeesByFullName)");
var doc:NotesDocument = v.getDocumentByKey(usrNme);

var tmpOfficePhone = employee.getItemValueString("HR_OfficePhone")
doc.replaceItemValue("HR_OfficePhone",tmpOfficePhone);

var tmpCellPhone = employee.getItemValueString("HR_CellPhone")
doc.replaceItemValue("HR_CellPhone",tmpCellPhone);

var tmpExtension = employee.getItemValueString("HR_Extension")
doc.replaceItemValue("HR_Extension",tmpExtension);

var tmpDirectDial = employee.getItemValueString("HR_DirectDial")
doc.replaceItemValue("HR_DirectDial",tmpDirectDial);

var tmpPersonalEmail = employee.getItemValueString("HR_PersonalEmail")
doc.replaceItemValue("HR_PersonalEmail",tmpPersonalEmail);

doc.save();

var x= "alert('Your changes have been saved.')";
view.postScript(x);

I have partial update selected, and whatever I pick to update I still get the error, just with slightly different verbiage. Example: I put everything in a panel and do a partial update on the panel, and I get the error for the panel.

It ALWAYS works in the client, but never works in a web browser.

Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Check your XPages logs on the server under the data\IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT folder for further details. — Simon O'Doherty
Bryan, I can highly recommend that you install XPages Log File Reader as it gives you very easy access to those log files: openntf.org/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/… — Per Henrik Lausten

You want to remodel your application and use data binding instead of going after the document and controls manually. You might want to start with a tutorial, but here is the gist of it:

Add a DominoDocument data source to your page
Specify the form of your documents (that's actually only needed for convenience in Designer and for the case where you need/want to use .computeWithForm
Design your form by binding your various controls to the DominoDocument data source. By default that binds it to a new empty document. Usually that's a good choice (see below)

Now, to actually edit an existing document with that XPage, do one of the following:

Open the Classic Form and specify in the beany head properties: Open XPage instead (there are 2 propeties: one for client one for browser). When you open a document with its classic URL it will open in XPage (?OpenDocument and ?EditDocument)
Add a viewControl to an XPage (the same page or a different one) where you show the documents to select. In the viewControl specify your XPage to be used to open documents
compute in what ever way you want the url to include documentID= which switches from new to display/edit mode (watch the URLs the view control is computing)
Switch the form to "Existing document" and compute the docid (uniqueid) of the document as property. Could be a lookup a scopeVariable or whatever you deem fit.

Let us know how it goes. Check out the XPages Cheatsheet for condensed information about all this.
